Q&A: Stanford Center on Longevity’s Ken Smith Talks Tech’s Role in Senior Living

Ken Smith, director of the mobility division at the Stanford Center on Longevity, believes that improving aging necessarily entails helping people thrive as they grow older. From a technology perspective, that means creating and leveraging tools that help people to form and practice good exercise, nutritional and social habits well before old age.The time to start thinking about being physically active to ensure a long and healthy life is not when you turn 70; learned behaviors set individuals up for a more positive aging experience, Smith says.
